		Yes, I am. I have a Micro module in each one of the scenes.

		Scene not turning on micro on/off module within program
		
		So I set up 2 Micro on/off modules for controlling my Pool's Variable Speed pump. With this set up, it allows me to adjust the pump speed according to the timers or if we are swimming and I don't want the heater to shut off according to the speed of the pump. Micro 1 controls Pump 1 Speed and this is in the morning to the afternoon and is set at a higher speed for running the vacuum in the pool. Pool Timer 1 - [iD 007C][Parent 0021] If From 10:00:00AM To 3:00:00PM (same day) Then In Scene 'Pool Timer 1' Set 'Pool / Pool Pump 1' 100% (On Level) Else In Scene 'Pool Timer 1' Set 'Pool / Pool Pump 1' 0% (On Level) Micro 2 controls Pump 2 Speed which runs at a lower speed just for cycling the water for the rest of the night, but because of the slower speed the heater thinks there isn't enough flow to stay on. Pool Timer 2 - [iD 007D][Parent 0021] If From 3:00:00PM To 10:00:00PM (same day) Then In Scene 'Pool Timer 2' Set 'Pool / Pool Pump 2' 100% (On Level) Else In Scene 'Pool Timer 2' Set 'Pool / Pool Pump 2' 0% (On Level) I then set up a button on a 8 button switch that activates another program to override both programs and disables the scenes that controls the pump. This way the pump works at a faster speed for the heater. Pool Swim Mode - [iD 007E][Parent 0021] If Control 'Backyard Light / Pool Swimming - E' is switched On And Control 'Backyard Light / Pool Swimming - E' is not switched Off Then Set 'Pool / Pool Pump 1' On Set 'Pool / Pool Pump 2' On Disable Program 'Pool Timer 1' Disable Program 'Pool Timer 2' Else Set 'Pool / Pool Pump 1' Off Set 'Pool / Pool Pump 2' Off Enable Program 'Pool Timer 1' Enable Program 'Pool Timer 2' The issue I am having is that the scene for Pump 1 and 2 show that they are on, but it does not turn on the actual Micro module for either scene. Is there something wrong with my program that you may see? If I go directly to the pump micro module, and remove the scene, the Micro modules turn on when scheduled but then there is no way to override or disable the scheduled programs. Any assistance is great appreciated Regards, Robert

		Insteon Door Locks
		
		My apologies if I'm hijacking your post, but I was curious of how these door locks work if a door needs to apply a little pressure to lock? Do the deadbolts have to be smooth to lock? I wanted to add one to a door that needs slight pressure to lock, but nothing too difficult. Regards, Robert

		Relay based on Insteon Micro On/Off module
		
		I'm just curious, instead of modifying the Micro module, why not add an isolation Relay that would be controlled by the Micro module. It would be safer as they are meant to handle any load depending on the rating of the relay, plus you have Form C contacts on them. Robert

		Monitoring External temperature of a wireless thermostat 2441ZTH
		
		Is there any development in the works to see the temperature from the external thermostat sensor other than walking up to it. I have it installed in an enclosed terminal can. The main temperature is monitoring my water temperature as the external sensor is just sensing outside temperature. It would be nice just to be able to see from my phone or tablet the local temperature it is sensing. Regards, Robert

		Controlling Pool Temperature program
		
		Ok, I will make each button control their own program instead of combining the two buttons.

		Well, the above program in place, it actually didn't turn on anything. The heater or the spa pump.

		Controlling Pool Temperature program
		
		When I ran the Run Then, it worked fine and the program greened up as it should. So I then removed the statement you mentioned. I pressed the Heater button and the heater turned on, but when I pressed the Spa button the spa pump turns on and it shut off the heater.

		Controlling Pool Temperature program
		
		Ok, great! That actually worked. But now it somehow doesn't allow my spa setting to work. This is the program to the spa as I modified it to match the pool settings. Pool N Spa Heater If Control 'Backyard Light / Pool Heater- H' is switched On And Control 'Backyard Light / Pool Heater- H' is not switched Off And Control 'Backyard Light / Spa Pump - G' is switched On And Status 'Pool Temperature - Main' < 95° (Temperature) Then Set 'Pool Spa Pump' On Set 'Pool Heater' On Else Set 'Pool Heater' Off

		Controlling Pool Temperature program
		
		Ok, so this is the program I have now, but when i switched off the keypad button it did not shut off the heater. Pool Heater If Control 'Backyard Light / Pool Heater- H' is switched On And Status 'Backyard Light / Spa Pump - G' is Off And Status 'Pool Temperature - Main' < 87° (Temperature) Then Set 'Pool Heater' On Else Set 'Pool Heater' Off

		Alright, I will give that a try. Doing the similar program for the Spa should work the same, correct? Thank you and I appreciate your help. Robert

		Controlling Pool Temperature program
		
		I can consolidate the two programs, but I was assuming that if one of the IF statements was not true, then it would shut off the heater. I would like it to constantly change status so if the pool temperature reaches its peak, it would shut off the heater, but if it drops, to turn the heater back on. Should I redo the programs a different way to be able to accomplish this?

		Controlling Pool Temperature program
		
		So I have a Wireless thermostat monitoring the pool temperature and I wrote a few programs to control 2 different temperatures for the pool or the spa. The first one seems to work to turn on, but it didn't turn off when I released the button on the keypad. Also if I turn on the spa pump after the heater is on, it shuts off the pool heater. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I have two buttons at a 8 button keypad, one is for the heater and the other is for the spa pump. These are the programs that were added. Pool Heater If Control 'Backyard Light / Pool Heater- H' is switched On And Control 'Backyard Light / Spa Pump - G' is not switched On Then - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Pool Temperature If Program 'Pool Heater' is True And Status 'Pool Temperature - Main' < 87° (Temperature) Then Set 'Pool Heater' On Else Set 'Pool Heater' Off Pool N Spa Heater If Control 'Backyard Light / Pool Heater- H' is switched On And Control 'Backyard Light / Spa Pump - G' is switched On Then Set 'Pool Spa Pump' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Spa Temperature If Program 'Pool N Spa Heater' is True And Status 'Pool Temperature - Main' < 95° (Temperature) Then Set 'Pool Heater' On Else Set 'Pool Heater' Off Regards, Robert

		How to monitor water temp via ISY and catch more fish!
		
		I installed the remote wireless thermostat to my pool equipment to monitor the actual temp of my pool. I soldered in the wired waterproof temperature sensor and cut it into the return at my pool equipment. If you solder it in the actual thermistor position, you can see it within the ISY. Very easy to do. I was able to use a 1/2" plug drilled to fit the sensor inside, then I sealed it using water weld to secure it. I am able to service it when need be. The last image is from the Pool thermostat showing the temp using Agave.

		Keypadlinc Momentary On?
		
		Rleidy, I used the scenes to control and monitor my garage door. The first scene you set the keypad button as the controller and the iolinc as the responder. My other scene is set up for status in which I used the keypad button as the responder and the iolinc status as the controller.

		Thanks Lee, I will give that a shot. It is a program and not a scene. Robert

		Keypadlinc Momentary On?
		
		Is it possible for a Keypadlinc button to be momentary on? I set up a good bye button with a program, but the only thing is, when it is pressed, it has to be pressed again to release the button. I have it set up as a toggle on/off. Will it help if I set this button to Always on? Or does this mean that the button will always be on leaving the scene on or is it a momentary on? Thanks, Robert

		Smarthome Sale  11/25/2015
		
		I was at Smarthome today and speaking to Elliot, he mentioned that they have caught on to other's idea of waiting until Cyber Monday to make their purchases. He also said they may have less sales like the one this weekend. Picked up a few items for a pretty good price. Regards Robert

		This one is the relay module "2 Door Garage Door Open" and this one is the sensor status "2 Door Garage Status" If you see the log, it does show the status came in right after it opened the door. Thanks,
